Albedo is delighted with his samples (his companions get to see a happy little nerd…)

Of course, now he wants to pick one of those oranges, examine it, open it up, smell it... and then if it looks and smells entirely like an otherwise normal orange, lick it. (Despite an “I am not sure this is wise…” from Rider.)

Neither Rider or Xingchen are going to steal the fruits or harm the plants, but are both up for investigating the area (although Xingchen thinks they should move forward soon)- and to be on standby should any misfortune come from Albedo’s investigations…
